While on Pacific Encounter in March 2023., I initially wasn’t planning to purchase a Wi-Fi package, but I ended up buying the mid-range option for video calling and messaging. The Wi-Fi seems less glitchy than on a previous cruise and the ship has a messaging system within the piano app that is free to use. I found the Wi-Fi reasonable enough but experiences issues with YouTube and Facebook videos, which freeze and take a long time to load. I would recommend purchasing a higher-priced package for better connectivity. You don’t need Wi-Fi to use the P&O app, just on onto airplane mode and connect to the ship's Wi-Fi. I am loving the Altitude Nightclub, enjoying the view, and making a vlog.
